Austin Film Festival announces 10 in lineup
The Austin Film Festival announced 10 new films today that will be screening at this year’s event, which starts Oct. 21 and continues through Oct. 28.
“Fair Game,” the new film from Doug Liman that stars Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, is the biggest title of the 10. It chronicles the battle waged by a family after the wife is exposed as a undercover CIA agent. It’s based on the real-life Valerie Plame case.
Also screening are “The Space Between,” directed by Travis Fine and starring Melissa Leo, and “Dog Sweat,” the story of a group of Iranian 20-somethings struggling with a conservative society.
Several of the early films will also be showcasing Texas talent. They include Eric Heuber’s “Rainbow’s End,” Bradley Scott Sullivan’s “I Didn’t Come Here to Die” and Steven Belyeu’s “Dig.”
Rounding out the list are “Brother’s Justice,” directed by David Palmer and Dax Shepard; “Made in Dagenham,” starring Sally Hawkins and Bob Hoskins and directed by Nigel Cole; “Make Believe,” a documentary from J. Clay Twell; and “Rubble Kings” from director Shan Nicholson.
